Wanted to know what type of mirrors everyone is using. I have the stock ones on now but I'm thinking of replacing them with something more low profile. Any thoughts? post pics if you have them.
It's always an aesthetic problem when you finally put the mirrors on after a build.
To get any good safe view behind they need to be hanging up and out. Daggy looking. All the more compact ones give a lousy view.
Someone invent a rear view camera please. Small 4" screen above the instruments, adjustable/wide angle lens mounted up back.
Go on, you can do it!
I use bar end mirrors. They are low profile and, depending on the diameter, give very good visibility (no more looking over your own shoulders.)

Yup but at the expense of a wider bike. Not so good for manoeuvring around the garage or lane splitting.
(Actually I wouldn't recommend lane splitting, unless the traffic is stationary and you trickle through at LOW speed).
I use these bar ends and they work pretty well for me. Vibrate a bit but for normal riding I like em. they keep things low profile too.

Do like the looks of the bar end mirrors but took mine off and went back to stock so I would have more room on the grip. When wearing heavy gloves in the winter there just wasn't enough room for my hands.
Ooo I like them...do you have a link for them ?
